Taeniopoda

Sign in to save

Taeniopoda is a genus of horse lubbers, fairly large grasshoppers in the family Romaleidae that are native to southwestern United States, Mexico and Central America. There are about 12 described species in Taeniopoda. Taeniopoda is very closely related to Romalea (members of the two genera can even produce fertile hybrids in captivity), leading some recent authorities to consider the former a junior synonym the latter.
